My mum used to teach handicapped people all sorts of crafts, boxes being one of them and as children, my siblings and I learnt as well. Ufortunately, I seem to have lost the skill not having done it for so long and sadly my mother is no longer with us. The lids on the boxes sorted fanned round on the top and I cannot think how this was done and wondered if there was any possibilty that anyone reading this could enlighten me

This is great! Very simple to follow the directions. How do you hide the signature though? I did one, and the signature is right there in the bottom of the box. Don’t really like that. How can it be hidden?

I am looking for a box my grandma use to make back in the 50’s. Top & bottom was hexagon shape, sideswere ( ) like that, they were crocheted together . She use to put hankies in it that she croched the edges. And give them as gifts. Let me know if you find any.
